Lately

Axel, 2013

After a two week long cold, Axel finally seems to be back in stride. He's as busy as ever. I'm not sure if this is what all babies are like at 7-ish months, but Axel plays furiously. He doesn't have much time for cuddling unless he is nearly asleep. Otherwise, it's all about exploring, all the time.

I fear we're in for a few months of bruises and bumps.

His latest trick is pivoting around on his belly and occasionally scooting from here to there until he's stopped in his tracks by a chair leg or the like.

This week he's tried blueberries, chicken, and plenty of parsnips. He's also starting to give Will and I even bigger grins when we get home from work, like "Hey! Oh, I like you guys!" It's not that he didn't react before, it's just that now it seems more...personal?

About Me

For the past 14 years, I've lived in New York and worked for various magazines and newspapers as a freelance editor and writer. I live in Williamsburg, where I enjoy skulking around cafes, walking down to the waterfront, and marveling at the Portlandia-ness of it all. In August of 2012 we added our son Axel to the clan. In March of 2014, Oscar was born, and in December, 2015, Balthazar joined the family. We are still doing our best to travel the globe and make adventures out of the every day in Brooklyn.
